Zachary recalls his childhood days spent in Fenway Park watching the Boston Red Sox with his family. After his father gives him the foul ball he caught, Zachary feels the magic of a baseball that transports him onto the playing field. He cherishes his baseball until the day it goes missing. As an adult, he walks by the stadium and proceeds to catch a foul ball. Zachary excitedly thinks about showing it to his dad, when he notices a young girl looking at the “magic” baseball. He passes it on to her, hoping that she too will feel the magic of Fenway Park, and baseball itself.
